    Ok, I got XP in BootCamp running. However it seems to be the "default boot" meaning if I turn it on it loads straight to XP, I have to hold Alt (option) to boot to Mac, how is it possible to boot straight to Mac? Thanks.

    Also, im very sorry for posting so many threads, however I think other members look at it and see what it is by the title, So it helps them easily search for threads and tips they need. This is probably my last thread till I hear of any Parallels 3D update support. Im now uninstalling Parallels. Once parallels releases more drivers and adds 3D support ill join back and delete BootCamp x].

    This is more a bootcamp's question then a Parallel's question.:eek:

    Have you tried to change the startup disk in Control Panel ?

    You can select the defaut startup disk in either the Windows Control Panel if you boot up in Windows or in Startup Disk in System Preferences under OS X. I think it's pretty slick Apple added the Windows Control Panel feature.
